The Last Day of School
Friday 11 June is a half-day of school, with dismissal at 11:30 AM for all students. Our middle and high school students will meet with their advisors to get their final reports, and will come to the Gymnasium for a “Farewell Assembly.” Parents are welcome to join the MS/HS assembly at 9:00 AM. There will be a special treat for all students and parents beginning at 11:30 AM on the library lawn.

Our yearbooks were cleared through customs and arrived on campus Tuesday afternoon. Congratulations to our hardworking high school Yearbook Class on a colorful, memory-packed book for the ICS community to enjoy for years to come. Parents and students can pick up their prepaid books at the ICS Cashier. A limited number of books will be available for sale at 500 birr.

Our sports fields and many of our rooms and facilities are undergoing annual maintenance in June and July. The softball pitch will be seeded with grass to create a more flexible play space for PE and other sports activities. Seven elementary classrooms will be renovated and a new elementary office suite will be created up near the nurse’s office. Two sides of our exterior walls will be torn down and replaced, and more security cameras will be added on the exterior and interior of the campus.
